Photos of rioters’ gear confiscated by law enforcement in arrests last night:
Over 50 arrested at the Portland #antifa riot on 5–6 Sept. The riot was organized & promoted by antifa ahead of time to celebrate over 100 days of riotious violence. They used firebombs & explosives in a residential area, causing one to be hospitalized. https://t.co/3tGbdL5GIW pic.twitter.com/bXanY4rbS0

The 100th day of protesting in Portland has seen the most arrests since the night of the federal courthouse was targeted by rioters:
Last night proved no different for the radical ANTIFA protesters in Portland. War-like scenes persisted as federal officers stood guard outside the Portland federal courthouse. Independent journalist, Drew Hernandez, captured incredible footage of ANTIFA terrorists cutting the fence into the federal courthouse…with powered saws.
We’re now at 7 weeks of rioting in Portland. What will it take to end it?
At the end of May, rioting and looting broke out in Portland, Ore., as it did in dozens of other American cities. In one night, hundreds of rioters ravaged downtown, breaking into jewelry stores, malls, and banks. They left a trail of broken windows and fires in their wake. That was seven weeks ago. And while violent protests have diminished or stopped everywhere else, it has continued and grown stronger in Portland, according to the New York Post.

Day after day, hundreds and even thousands take to the streets and claim the territory as theirs. They cycle through a number of chants like “All cops are bastards” and “F- -k the police.” A large number of them participate in violent criminal acts such as arson and assault. They’ve made it a game to lure law-enforcement officers out of buildings so they can assault them with blinding lasers, paint, rocks and other weapons.
Besides the violence and anarchy, what exactly do the rioters want?
As witnessed in the former “autonomous zone” in Seattle, the far-left movement in Portland has no declared “leaders.” Social media is used to decide when and where to meet, but rarely what the goal is. One faction or person may make a statement, only to have it be contradicted by another.
